Minnesota University pauses hiring of Jewish professor over genocide article

The University of Minnesota has halted the employment of an Israeli historian as director of Holocaust and Genocide Studies.

 The decision comes within two days of Raz Segal being hired.

Segal currently is a professor at Stockton University in New Jersey. 

In a recent article he authored, titled “A Textbook Case of Genocide,” he said Israel’s goal is to destroy Gaza’s Palestinians.

Segal also warned those watching around the world are abandoning their responsibility to prevent Israel from doing so.
